there be alternative to unlocking other then with gevey?

I am hoping for my iphone 4g that has 4.3.5. bb 4.10 to not have to use gevey sim once ios 5 is out because I lose the ability to have DATA with gevey.. its horrible.

anyone know if I can expect a quality software base unlock that will allow me to use data once ios 5 is released?
 
No one knows except the Dev Team, and they aren't saying. If they'd found a usable exploit previously, I'm sure they would have released it by now, so my gut feel is that you shouldn't count on it. But anything can happen and perhaps a new exploit will come along with the new iOS5 baseband.

If I needed an unlocked phone for daily use, I'd either track down one with a preserved 1.59 baseband or buy a factory unlocked one, probably the latter as it's less problematic for upgrades. Should be a few 1.59’s for sale once the new phone is announced/released.
 
that doesn't sound good at all. I was really hoping to be able to have data on my phone at some point.

has there ever been a ios version that didn't have a unlock?
